Aldous. Well, I've done 13 pages. But now this thread is 27 pages... I'm wondering if I should do more. I'd be willing to do 15 pages (or more, time permitting). But I'll hold off on anymore work until I read your response--yea or nay.

Even though it's only been two years, it's been a real nostalgic trip reading through those old posts. All the great posters that stopped by. All the stories mention that have yet to be fully explored. Good times.

The way you've done the "index" is great. It'll be really useful. We have many more things to discuss re Superman in the 70s, and, as you alluded to, some stories already mentioned could stand a little more scrutiny. Much of the thread deserves a re-read now and then.

How do you feel about continuing with the "index" yourself...?
